Using primarily circumstantial evidence, Esplin rejects the interpretation that Brigham Young was responsible for the Saints' long-standing belief that Blacks should not have the Priesthood. Esplin pushes the belief back to at least 1846 (and clearly believes its origin lay with Smith), asserting a personal faith that the doctrine lay in revelation and not historical circumstance or Young's personal predilection.
